PIP Update:
The most current pediatric news
June,
2008 Vaccine Information
It seems every day there are news items
about vaccines. We see claims of "scientific"
information on the internet, on TV, in magazines and books.
How do you know what to
believe or where you should look for accurate information
about vaccines?
We recommend the links below as a place to start.:
From the National Network for Immunization Information,
these two articles are helpful:
"How
do I know if the vaccine information I find on the Internet
is accurate?"
"Do
Multiple Vaccines Overwhelm the Immune System?"
From Time magazine, an article about vaccines, "How
Safe are Vaccines?"
We also have many more resources available
on this
website and in the clinic! Please ask your provider if y
ou are interested.
